Easy Oatmeal Cake with Coconut-Walnut Topping

 Sharing a recipe that was given to me years ago by our cousin Ginny.

This exceptionally moist cake is crowned with a walnut-coconut topping 
that caramelizes a bit when you pop it under the broiler. Delectable!

Ingredients that are easy to have on-hand in your 

fridge and pantry make it a quick go-to dessert.
